Ian Simiyu Jr. scores twice — 8.25

Two goals and a mark of 8.25 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market11 Feb 2030

Andrew Juma asks to leave Tusker

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match9 Feb 2030

Ian Simiyu Jr. sends Tusker past Sofapaka

It finished 4‑3, and it was Ian Simiyu Jr.’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Tusker.

Squad11 Feb 2030

Tempers go at Tusker

Ian Simiyu Jr. was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match9 Feb 2030

Ian Simiyu Jr. among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Ian Simiyu Jr. on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Tusker and Sofapaka.

Transfer targets11 Feb 2030

Golden Arrows tell Tusker: Kwanele Nayo is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad11 Feb 2030

A row about effort at Tusker

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Abud Omar was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

A masterclass from Cliff Oruko

Marked 8.03 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings11 Feb 2030

Eric Kapaito was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 15. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market4 Feb 2030

Jacob Onyango puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Tusker, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom4 Feb 2030

Deadline passes with 5 signed and 3 gone

That is the business done at Tusker until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Match2 Feb 2030

Nobody wins at Tusker

11 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Squad4 Feb 2030

Words exchanged at Tusker

Ian Simiyu Jr. and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom4 Feb 2030

5 academy graduates step up at Tusker

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad4 Feb 2030

Vincent Owino signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Vincent Owino commits to Tusker for another 4 years.

Transfer targets4 Feb 2030

Bandari tell Tusker: Elly Saenyi is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market4 Feb 2030

Duncan Ouma steps up from the Tusker academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Duncan Ouma has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Peter Njeru steps up from the Tusker academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Peter Njeru has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
